Magnesium Has Helped Me- Tmj Pain Is Gone!
Posted: 11-01-04 23:13pm

Four days ago I went to the health food
store and decided to try 2 natural
remedies for tmjd that I have learned
about on the web: kava kava (for muscle
relation) and magnesium. First I tried
the kava kava. It did relax my muscles
and my tmj losened and felt great but it
wore off after 4 hours and is too toxic to
the liver to take more than once or twice
a day. Slowly the spastic muscle pain
was getting worse and I figured i'd have
to resort to advil again after I ate
something. At dinner I took my usual
vitamins including calcium, vit e, vit c,
etc. The only difference was that I added
300mg of chelated magnesium. I got busy
with something on the computer so I didn't
take the advil right after dinner. As I
sat there at the computer (something that
usually worsens tmj pain) I felt my jaw
muscles relaxing. The pain was literally
melting away! I thought to myself, "did
I take the advil?". I couldn't believe
it but the magnesium worked that fast!
It has been 4 days now and I have been tmj
pain free! Even the tense muscles of my
neck and shoulders is gone! I had toast
for breakfast instead of my usual oatmeal
(i'm so sick of oatmeal!) I take 100mg at
each meal and then 200mg before bed. I
keet saying to my husband, "it feels so
good to not have pain!" the pain is not
just dulled, it's gone!
I am just so shocked that something so
simple has helped me so much. It's
wonderful to know that this is something
that will not hurt my body, rather
something that is actually beneficial to
my body.

Hey crazmofo I did the same thing. I
found out what foods have magnesim in them
and went to the store and bought them. I
ate stuff like spinage and the next day it
was gone. It was so wierd, that it worked
so quick.

What Type of Tmj?

Hi,
i found it really interesting that you
mentioned magnesium helped your pain.
What exactly do you have pain from? A
lot of people just say "tmj", but that is
the actual joint. The reason I ask is
because I wondered if you might have what
I suffer from. Both of my discs in the
tmjoint are anteriorly displaced(they were
pushed in front) so that my bones are not
cushioned by this cartilege disc anymore.
Please let me know if you or anyone else
you know has this and what they have done
to help improve the daily pain. Just
curious if this is your case.
I guess I should try the magnesium too
since I too have headaches, neck/jaw pain
etc.
Hope it is still helping you! I'm always
relieved to hear that some people are
actually finding help in various ways.
I'd love to chat with anyone who
experiences similar problems.
Thanks in advance for your reply!
- kiki

Hi...
Just joined here yesterday. I am having
headaches, dizziness, am in a constant
"fog" LOL....Have had a couple bouts of
low sugar...my b/f is a diabetic...so here
recognized that...insomnia is a prob as
well
Been for an MRI...showed nothing..seeing a
chiropractor who is seriously thinking
tmj...
I went to the local health food store
looking for Senitol today. A fellow who
works there inquired about my
symptoms...he thinks I am low on
magnesium. Gave me some samples to try
...mix it w/ hot water.
Interesting to find others saying
this....has it helped any one ???

Yes, I believe that magnesium has helped
me a lot. I started taking it about a
year ago when I heard about it. My TMJ of
27 years is relatively calm and pain free
now. I am doing other things to help
also, but I highly recommend magnesium.
I hope and pray that it will help you
also. Let us know how you do with it.
God bless...

carol, does regular magnesium help, or
does it have to be chelated, whatever that
is? I have some regular in the house I can
try.

Hey this is such a super place to connect
w/ people.
It always helps to hear that you are not
alone!
I wonder how one would find out if you are
truly deficient in magnesium?
Is it a blood test. Also....I went to
Walmart..they only had it in 400 mg pills.
not certain about the dosage.
Am willing to try anything at this point!

I don't know how to be tested for
Magnesium deficiency. I'm reading that
it's more common than I had thought. I
have read that we can take up to 1200 mg
daily. Also, that Chelated Magnesium is
best, but I've never found any (I suppose
I could go to a health store.)
I currently take Magnesium (133 mg),
Calcium (333mg) and Zinc (5 mg) together
in one pill earlier in the day. At night
shortly before bedtime, I take just
Magnesium alone in a 500 mg pill. Diarhea
can be a side-effect from taking
Magnesium. The Calcium is supposed to
help with that problem. The body can
usually get used to the change also.
If anyone tries the Chelated, let me know
how you do with it. I guess I should try
and buy some myself but right now I am
happy with my TMJ. But you never know
what will happy tomorrow.
God bless...
Carol

im glad that you have found something that
helps you. Im also very happy that you
think this is a super place. I have been
at other sites and they are not so super.
The people there are less than nice. I
just hope that we keep this this way.
nice. it just makes me sad to see people
causeing more stress to those people with
tmj that go to them for support couse they
dont know how to be nice. I myself was a
victim of theirs. anyway
------------------------ keep us informed
of how you are doing with this. I didnt
have much luck with it so im glad that its
working for you.

Magnesium Is Some Great Stuff!

Greetings everyone:
Glad that I found this website. I have to
be brief because I'm busy, but I wanted to
share this with y'all. Several months
ago, I was concerned that my husband was
showing signs of Parkinson's. We're both
in our 50s. He's 55, I'm 54. And one of
his grandfather's had Parkinson's, plus
rheumatoid arthritis runs in his family.
His hips were bothering him, he had no
energy, muscles in his legs were stiff,
and he was getting to where he'd wake up
at 3:00 a.m. and couldn't go back to
sleep. It was really wearing him out.
So I started researching what I could do
to help him. I found many good
information from Dr. Russell Blaylock's
book, "Excitoxins: The Taste that Kills."
I happen to notice sections in it on
Parkinson's Disease and what supplements
have been proven to help. Well, magnesium
was one. So we went to the health food
store and bought a brand that I won't
name, which helped a little bit, but I
found out that magnesium malate was the
best from researching. I won't name the
place where I purchase it from, but
there's only one lab in the U.S. that can
truly chelate this and they can prove it.
You can't buy it from the lab, though.
Research Albion. They have the only
patent on chelation. But it's magnesium
malate and it's a sustained release so you
don't have the diarrhea problem. It lasts
about 12 hours slow release.
Anyway, when we first got it, it was late
in the day, so we took it that afternoon
with our meal. The next morning he woke
up, pain was completely gone and he's
continued to make improvements every day
since that time. For the first time in
months, he can walk without his hips
hurting. I've been helped a lot to with
CFS and my ongoing insomnia that I've had
for years now is about gone. I'm sleeping
like a baby. No joke!

good results?

you can try natural calm too. its a kind
that you mix in water--they have several
flavors. I would go to super
supplements---not sure if they have that
store where you are--and get
magnesium--ask them about the different
kinds. I think any magnesium would work.

magnesium for TMJ and other stuff...

Hello,
I posted before about the benefits of
magnesium. My husband and I use Jigsaw mg
malate. It has a time release thing on it
and has helped us both so much. It's been
almost a year now since I've started it,
and I haven't put my back out once yet,
which I was getting to where I would put
it out like every two weeks. Not now!

Tiza,
I didn't really understand what you were
saying about the lab and where you
purchase the chelated magnesium. Can you
clarify?
